Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

[Wolf Island Diver]

Got my recall notice from Chiseler today. Maybe they can fix the key fob not detected problem and my glow plug at the same time. Not looking forward to the stupid hard sell tactics and “can we buy your truck” bullshit.

Still haven't got the letter in the mail, probably sent it to the previous owner like FCA/Stellantis keeps assuming has possession of it.

Dealers in my area still have no idea when they'll have a fix, nor will they make a list of people who know they're affected until said "fix" is available.

The "fix" from Stellantis has been out for over a week. Show 'em the document attached to the following post: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...-risk-june-9-2026.108998/page-26#post-1770470

In a nutshell, the dealer needs to check for specific power steering fault codes then perform a visual inspection of the pump wiring connector. If no faults or defects are found, you're all done and nothing further is required. Only if faults or defects are found will any parts be required, so any excuse from the dealer that they don't have parts available right now isn't justification enough to not do the inspection. At present the overwhelming majority of people who've reported getting the recall inspection done have checked out good with no need for parts or repair (as was expected based on the initial report).

I got my power steering pump recall letter today on my '22.

$33,000 in 2020 has the same purchasing power as $42,000 in 2026. They haven't gone up in price. Basically, a Gladiator is cheaper today than in 2020.

Common misconception, though. People often say, "My parents bought their first house for $28,000 bucks !!", forgetting to add that your Dad only made $6,000 a year back then and it was a decent paycheck.

Maybe I am just not getting 2026 pay then?

With my luck they will say they couldn't find anything. Except I smell burning on hot days after long drives. And since I got my JT the PS is quite shit when not moving. I can try to turn the steering wheel and generally it will fight me vs help me...offroad, even worse.
- My 2002 Subaru doesn't even do this with over 230k miles of the original steering system, and it's been rallied into a curb before.

Some of us do, most of us don't. On my job I never got a yearly COLA (Cost Of Living Allowance, percentage to keep your pay the same, typically a 3% or so bump in pay to keep up with inflation) in the 28 years I was with the same company. My wife, on the other hand got a yearly COLA and a raise. I got a raise when my boss "felt it was worthy", typically every 3-5 years.

So yeah, every year I did not get a raise, my paycheck had less and less buying power. Things went up, my pay remained the same.
